It's now time for some of today's trending tickers. We are watching Adobe, Uber, and Dick's Sporting Goods, and Coreweave. First up, Adobe set to report second quarter results after the close. Second quarter revenue guidance came in slightly below Wall Street expectations when the company last reported here. You're taking a look at shares of ADBE. They are flat here during today's trading session. There have been a lot of things that we've been tracking within Adobe, and especially with regard to how quickly they're able to implement some of those AI features within their existing platforms for creatives out there that are buying into a lot of the subscriptions and the plans that Adobe has been able to put into market for years to come and how much of a delta there is between those user experiences as well at the end of the day.
Yeah, I think this space, there's a lot of competition here, and uh, I think Adobe, the stock has struggled quite a bit. So, we would be cautious with this name.
And again, this goes back to our theme of trying to be broad and sticking with, uh, having a breadth in the portfolio to protect you on the downside.
You know, as I'm taking a look at some of the areas specifically within the segments that investors are going to be looking across when this company does report earnings, it's expected that they'll report digital media segment revenue of about $17.3 billion far and away, the major leader on a segment basis here, but you've also got the digital experience which includes the cloud subscriptions and other digital experiences. Uh, but the cloud subscriptions essentially coming in at $5.1 billion is what they're looking for here of that overall $5.8 billion pie for the digital experience side. So, ultimately, we'll see exactly where those numbers come in at, but it still is a larger question for some of their bigger corporate clients, what's the deal scrutiny and what that pipeline looks like for some of the seats that sit underneath of these services as well here, it seems.
Sure. Yeah, and with businesses scaling back a little bit because of the uncertainty, I think that could affect the company as well. So, those are all things to watch in the earnings report.
Next up here, we're also tracking Uber and Dick's Sporting Goods announcing a partnership bringing the retailers products to the Uber Eats platform. Consumers can now order equipment, apparel, and more for on-demand delivery through the app. You're taking a look at shares of both of these companies here, and they are moving fractionally lower as we are seeing with the broader markets. I saw this this morning, and it immediately said to me, you know what, this is not bad. Imagine you're at the beach one day. You're with your friends and hey, yo, we forgot the ball. Like we can't do the activity that we were hoping to and so now we can perhaps through Uber Eats, both, you know, get a pizza delivered to the beach as well as whatever softball or baseball or you know, I don't know. People are not playing pickleball at the beach these days, not yet, but they'll figure out a way. Um, you know, a sand wedge, perhaps, if you're going to be practicing on the beach, just don't hit anybody with that golf ball. Get the foam balls. But we look at all the ways that Uber Eats has tried to really entrench itself, how is this fitting into the overall kind of super appification, if you will, of Uber's strategy from your perspective?
I think they have done a phenomenal job, right? With where they've they've got a very diversified business mix. It went from this hyper growth company into a very diversified company that's that's a core company right now to look at.
Uh, they're firing on all cylinders, you know, they've got this Uber delivery. I think this partnership is phenomenal. I agree with you.
Uh, they've got the subscription business with the advertising, they've got the autonomous vehicle, they've got the ride sharing. I think Uber Eats, I use it all the time, you know, so I think I think this is this is very positive.
Yeah.
Big time for Dick's Sporting Goods too, especially coming off of the announcement of the acquisition that's going to be moving forward with Foot Locker here. So, maybe I don't know. Some of those shoe boxes that would usually be coming straight from Dick's Sporting Goods might also be coming from Foot Locker via an Uber Eats delivery. We will see how that plays out indeed.
Finally here, we want to talk about one more name that we're tracking. This one is Coreweave, one of these recent IPOs of course set to provide computing capacity to Google's cloud unit. This, according to a report from Reuters. Google will then sell that computing capacity to OpenAI as part of its newly signed partnership enhancing OpenAI's computing power here. This for Coreweave has been one that has been absolutely off into the races for investors that are trying to get some type of exposure into the IPO markets that and the IPO market, those companies that are making their public debutes and clearly have a solid business model at least. How is this kind of setting the tone for what we're also going to hear a little bit more about today with chime's IPO and the broader landscape for public debutes right now?
Yeah, I think I think the appetite is going to eventually what what's happening right now is that there's still a lot of uncertainty, but slowly we are seeing some of this appetite come back. Yeah. And we saw the inflation data, and if the inflation data continues to be to show that inflation is falling, and we start getting rate cuts after the summer, I think we should start to see the IPO market pick up more.
And that's part of the reasons why we think that some of the financials will do well because not only because of deregulation, but also because of investment banking activity as well, and IPO activity picking up.

The No. 1 thing that makes interns stand out, according to a Google Cloud exec
Landing a summer internship can sometimes feel like only half the battle — the next challenge is often turning it into a full-time gig. Interning at a tech giant puts you in the running for a full-time role, but that doesn't mean it's a done deal. Yasmeen Ahmad, a product and GTM executive at Google Cloud, has seen her fair share of interns at the tech giant, and she said there's one trait that jumps out to her. "The people who stand out the most for me are those who really take initiative and look for opportunities," Ahmad told Business Insider in an interview. Google packages up projects for its interns to work on, and the key is looking beyond the scope of what's offered, Ahmad said. She added that interns should use their assigned project as a "springboard" to explore what Google is doing in other areas, whether that be other teams, projects, or domains. At a company like Google that has a number of departments dedicated to different products, like Android, Gemini, or Workspace, Ahmad said there's plenty of opportunity to explore. The company also offers programming so interns can get exposure to their peers working on other projects and teams. "Interns who really think outside the box and leverage that opportunity, I think really do stand out," Ahmad said. Ahmad's advice echoes that of a former Google intern Tawfiq Mohammad, who landed a full-time offer as a software engineer and also told BI that interns should strive to think "outside the box." The Googler said that interns should "try to own" their assigned summer project. Ahmad's advice also includes networking. The executive told BI that Google is "highly collaborative," and if you reach out to someone, they'll likely free up 15 minutes for a coffee chat. A Google software engineer who spent three summers interning at the tech giant before landing a full-time offer, Nancy Qi, previously told BI she thinks one of her strengths as an intern was building relationships with her teammates by getting lunch with them every day. She said doing so helped create "team chemistry" and kept her "motivated to pump out code." While Ahmad has helped lead multibillion-dollar businesses, she's also felt the pressure of trying to prove herself in a temporary position. The Google executive said that when she landed her first job, the manager told her they weren't sure it would be a fit and planned to reassess after six months. As someone who started in academia, Ahmad's path into Big Tech leadership was far from linear, and she told BI she had "many moments of anguish" while not knowing her next step. Looking back now, Ahmad said not knowing what was next helped provide her with a broader perspective and taught her to enjoy the journey. "I think an internship is a great way, whether you know, it's Google other organizations, to be able to come in and explore different roles that you maybe hadn't considered before," Ahmad said.

Oracle Stock (ORCL) Delivers Strong Quarter as Cloud and AI Strategy Pays Off
Oracle (ORCL) has just wrapped up its quarterly reporting period with impressive results. Revenue rose 11% year-over-year to $15.9 billion, beating expectations with ease. Non-GAAP earnings per share came in at $1.70, topping the consensus estimate of around $1.65. In my view, Oracle's bold investments in Cloud services—particularly Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI)—are clearly bearing fruit. I'm bullish on the stock, as Oracle continues to demonstrate resilience and leadership in both Cloud and AI. Confident Investing Starts Here: Cloud Growth Takes Center Stage Oracle's Cloud segments were the clear standouts in Q4. Total Cloud revenue—which includes both Infrastructure as a Service (IaaS) and Software as a Service (SaaS)—jumped 27% year-over-year to roughly $6.7 billion. The real highlight was Oracle Cloud Infrastructure (OCI), which surged 52% to reach $3 billion, underscoring Oracle's aggressive push to capture AI-heavy workloads in the Cloud Infrastructure space. A key driver behind Oracle's Cloud momentum is its smartly executed multi-cloud strategy. On the earnings call, Larry Ellison revealed that Oracle's MultiCloud database services—used by customers on Amazon (AMZN), Microsoft Azure (MSFT), and Google Cloud (GOOGL) —soared 115% quarter-over-quarter. This approach is savvy, as it turns would-be rivals into collaborators. With enterprise demand rising for hybrid and multi-cloud solutions, Oracle is carving out a distinct competitive edge among the major cloud providers. Record Backlog Signals Solid Revenue Growth Ahead One of the key reasons I'm bullish on Oracle's long-term growth is its record-high backlog of contracts, formally known as Remaining Performance Obligations (RPO). This quarter, RPO surged 41% year-over-year to an all-time high of $138 billion. That's a strong signal of sustained demand, providing a significant level of revenue visibility and stability for shareholders over the coming years. Management attributed much of this backlog growth to major contracts with companies like OpenAI, Meta (META), Nvidia (NVDA), and AMD (AMD). CEO Safra Catz expressed evident enthusiasm, projecting that Oracle's Cloud business will grow by more than 40% in Fiscal 2026, with OCI continuing to expand at a rate above 70%. Oracle deserves real credit here—its momentum is undeniable, and Larry Ellison remains the quintessential relentless tech visionary, pushing the company to the forefront of the Cloud and AI revolution. Heavy Investment Is Necessary for Moat Building Scaling Oracle's Cloud business comes with a hefty price tag. In FY2025, the company invested roughly $21.2 billion in capital expenditures, reflecting its aggressive buildout of GPU clusters and data centers. While these substantial investments did put some pressure on margins—non-GAAP operating margin dipped slightly to about 44%, down from 47% last year—I view this as a reasonable and strategically sound tradeoff. Crucially, Oracle remains solidly profitable and financially strong. Operating cash flow for the year reached an impressive $20.8 billion, providing the company with ample capacity to reinvest in future growth. Management made it clear on the earnings call that these upfront investments are designed to drive high-margin, recurring revenue over time, essentially laying the groundwork for long-term profitability. With around $18 billion in cash and short-term investments, Oracle appears to have the financial flexibility to fund its expansion without overburdening its balance sheet. Oracle Faces Substantial but Surmountable Risks While I'm optimistic about Oracle's growth potential, it's essential to acknowledge the risks. Management's aggressive expansion strategy hinges on flawless execution and sustained demand. If enterprise IT spending slows, if overall demand for public Cloud services weakens, or if customers shift more quickly toward AWS or Azure, Oracle's growth trajectory could face headwinds. Additionally, Oracle is making significant capital investments while also aiming to deliver strong returns to shareholders. This high-stakes approach means that any misstep or shortfall in demand could result in the company having costly, underutilized infrastructure. However, given Oracle's recent track record, management's demonstrated competence, and the sheer scale of its secured backlog, I believe these risks are manageable and well within the company's capacity to navigate. Is Oracle Stock a Good Buy? On Wall Street, Oracle has a consensus Moderate Buy rating based on 15 Buys, 12 Holds, and zero Sells. The average ORCL price target of $192.91 indicates a 3.5% downside potential over the next 12 months. This means that, despite the company's current operational and financial strengths, the market has likely priced Oracle stock too high in the short term. It's probably best to wait for a pullback before buying shares. Oracle's Ambitious Bet Has Paid Off Oracle's quarterly results strengthen my confidence in the sustained upward trajectory of Oracle's operating model. What was once a bold and uncertain Cloud transformation is now clearly delivering results. Oracle's heavy investment in OCI, its strategic focus on multi-cloud architecture and partnerships, and its sizable backlog of signed contracts all point to long-term, market-leading growth that appears both durable and well-earned.
